Team Vegas 03

We took longer in first room, cause we didn't know where to start. But once we knew what we were looking for, we started to have more fun. WE made it out, but we actually missed out on the advance stage, which we all wanted badly...reflecting where our time went on was at the begining, why we didn't go to the advance stage...we left the room with our (mana) heads held up high hahaha We will be back to do the rest of the rooms at a later date. Team Vegas are OUT!!!

Candy Cottage

Enjoyed the room, completed the advanced level. 6x 13-adult plus 5yo, probably too many people. No real engagement from the staff, obviously busy and just wanted us to go after completion. No offer to take photo or record our time which they've done in the past. Will still be back as it's a fun family activity.

Hey Emma, Thank you for your review. Glad you enjoyed the room! Sorry to hear that you didn't get to have your photo taken or time recorded after you and your team completed the room. We do try to ensure that every team is looked after. However we were extremally busy that day, and we do regret that you were missed. Kind Regards, The Confinement Team Taupo
